- Create a user to run ejabberd as non privilegied user (
useradd -m -d /opt/ejabberd ejabberd) - Install the binary as the ejabberd user (
chmod 755 /tmp/ejabberd-17.09-linux-x86_64-installer.run; sudo -u ejabberd /tmp/ejabberd-17.09-linux-x86_64-installer.run --mode unattended --adminpw admin --prefix /opt/ejabberd/)

- ejabberd.service for systemd (
cp /opt/ejabberd/bin/ejabberd.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/ && systemctl enable ejabberd) - ejabberd.init for init.d
